Chapter 76:
Who said beautiful women only like protagonists?
In fact, many villains had excellent women who liked them when they first appeared. It was just that the protagonist's halo was too powerful, so these women ultimately leaned toward the protagonist.
Su Changyu remembered that Bai Jianyao initially liked him in the original novel. It was just that the original author, in order to promote the 'great idea of being a loyal follower with nothing,' made Su Changyu blindly pursue Bing Yao instead, and ultimately got humiliated by Tang Chuan, losing everything.
That's really a classic plot.
Su Changyu checked the system panel, and sure enough, Bai Jianyao was undoubtedly the female lead.
---
Name: Bai Jianyao.
Bloodline: Great Sword Physique
Destiny Level: Three Stars

"To let go of such a good girl and instead suck up on Bing Yao, that b*tch?"
Su Changyu shook his head secretly. Although he didn't know how Bai Jianyao developed feelings for him, he wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Su Changyu stepped out of the courtyard and appeared in the air above the flying boat.
"Miss Bai, you are too kind," Su Changyu smiled faintly, "I wonder why Miss Bai is looking for me?"
As soon as he appeared, the women around him immediately brightened up. "It is said that this young supreme has an extraordinary bearing. Seeing you today, you look much better than the Ancient Moon Holy Son."
The female cultivators thought to themselves. In the cultivation world, appearance matters just as much. If not, there wouldn't be so many 'fairies' admired by people.
Men love women, and women love men. It was only natural.
Su Changyu was already handsome, especially after his Dao Bones evolved once, although his appearance didn't change much, his temperament was even better than before, giving off a divine and out-of-this-world feeling.
"Truly worthy of being the young supreme!"
The powerhouses of various factions nodded in agreement.
When one's cultivation reached a certain level, their insight wouldn't be too bad.
They had to admit that although Su Changyu was arrogant, his talent was indeed strong.
Bai Jianyao smiled and said, "Jianyao has been acquainted with the Young Master for a long time. Upon hearing that Young Master has come to Beiyang, I specially came to invite Young Master for a chat."
A commotion arose. The male cultivators present all had envy in their eyes. Su Changyu had good talent, strong strength, a powerful background, and good looks. This was already tolerable, but now even the first beauty of Beiyang was actively showing interest.
Unbearable!
Su Changyu smiled faintly, "Miss Bai is too kind, but as you can see, my current situation is not too good."
Bai Jianyao looked around and smiled softly, "Everyone present has come for the Chaos Destruction Flames, not to challenge Young Master. Why should Young Master care?"
Su Changyu smiled but remained silent.
Far away, Yun Yao's expression changed, and he said coldly, "What does Miss Bai mean? Su Changyu is so arrogant and domineering, humiliating our Beiyang pride. Don't you have any sense of honor as Beiyang cultivators in your heart?"
The Ancient Moon Sect spread the news of the Chaos Destruction Flames to attract Beiyang cultivators. When more people came, the situation became chaotic. Once the situation became chaotic, they would have the opportunity to kill Su Changyu.
However, with Bai Jianyao's arrival, the hatred was diverted, and people's attention was distracted.
Moreover, with her identity, those around her would naturally give face.
The Ancient Moon Sect would naturally not allow this.
But the Sword Gathering Sect had been hostile to the Ancient Moon Sect for many years. Other sects weren't stupid enough to offend the Sword Gathering Sect for the Ancient Moon Sect's purpose. So for a while, no one spoke.
Bai Jianyao smiled lightly, "Elder Yun, you're joking. Jianyao naturally has the honor and disgrace of a Beiyang cultivator, but if I remember correctly, the Holy Son of the Ancient Moon sect was in the wrong first. He came to provoke the Young Master Su, so being humiliated is understandable... Is Elder Yun implying that if we juniors lose in a competition, we should rely on our elders to step in? If this gets out, people from other continents will think that we Beiyang can't afford to lose."
Hearing her words, Yun Yao's face changed.
This little girl was sharp-tongued! He had just put the hat of Beiyang's honor and disgrace on Bai Jianyao, and she turned around and threw it back at him.
As the top sect in Beiyang, if they couldn't afford to lose like this, they would be laughed at.
"That woman has also come!"
Far away. Bing Yao stood on the flying boat, frowning, a touch of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
According to her plan, it should have been her turn to appear now. But Bai Jianyao took the lead. Now that Bai Jianyao was standing in front of Su Changyu, if she went now, the effect would be greatly reduced.
"Miss, let's take advantage of this opportunity to go!" Aunt Lian's face lit up, "If we come out at this time, using the Sword Gathering Sect's name, I believe the major sects won't dare to act rashly."
"Let's wait a bit longer," Bing Yao said in a deep voice, "If I go now, how can I steal the spotlight? I will just be Bai Jianyao's foil."
"Miss..." Aunt Lian was a little helpless. She felt that Bing Yao was overthinking things. Take as much as you can chew.
In their current situation, going out now was the best opportunity!
However, Bing Yao had already made up her mind, and no matter how much she persuaded her, it was useless.
"Let's wait a little longer. There will definitely be a better opportunity. Bing Yao murmured to herself.
Even if the Ancient Moon Sect was strong, if they couldn't handle it, the matter wouldn't be so easily resolved.
She looked at Tang Chuan, who was hanging there. The key point was still Beiyang's number one pride.
'Tang Chuan, you have to fight back a bit!'
Meanwhile, Although Bai Jianyao appeared, according to Yun Yao's view, Su Changyu had already won, but he still continued to harm Tang Chuan.
Such behavior was inhumane and no different from demonic cultivation?
He wanted to let Su Changyu first let go of people, then he must apologize!
Well, Su Changyu obviously wouldn't apologize.
For a while, both sides were at a stalemate.
"Miss, there are still people behind the Ancient Moon Sect." At this moment, an elder next to Bai Jianyao said in a low voice. Bai Jianyao nodded slightly, "Let's wait and see."
Unexpectedly, changes came soon. The temperature in space began to rise significantly, and the concentration of spiritual Qi between the mountains surged, spreading outwards at a visible speed. And within that valley, there was even a curtain of fiery red dropping down, looking like a spiritual liquid from a distance, very spectacular.
"What's going on?"
The scattered cultivators around were all puzzled.
"I remember there used to be such wonders here before, but I don't know what secrets there are."
"Could it be true that, as rumored, the Source Fire is about to appear?"
The sudden changes attracted everyone's attention, and the words 'Chaos Destruction Flames' were imprinted in their minds.
"Young Master, it's time." Zhuge Wanqing said in a low voice.
Su Changyu nodded slightly, looking around.
The reason they came here was for the Source Fire, right?
If the Ancient Moon Sect really overpowered Su Changyu, these people would naturally not mind standing on the high ground, assisting and boosting the Ancient Moon Sect. But the Ancient Moon Sect wasn't capable. If one was given an opportunity and he didn't seize it, who could he blame?
For a moment, the scattered cultivators hurried toward the distance.
"Sure enough, it's the aura of the Source Fire."
"Let's go!"
The major sects who came riding on exotic beasts also immediately urged their mounts to leave.
"Miss, it's the Source Fire."
The old man next to Bai Jianyao said, "It is rumored that the Chaos Destruction Flames are infinitely powerful, comparable to imperial artifacts. If Miss gets it..."
Bai Jianyao smiled lightly, "Although treasures are good, if they are not mine, forcing them will be useless. Since that young man has been waiting here for a long time, how could he be unprepared? Let's take a look first."
At this moment, inside the Tianxing Cliff. Ancient beasts that could move at will emitted terrifying auras that made people afraid to approach.
The people from various major sects on the backs of these giant beasts also released their cultivation bases, forming a 'buffer zone' faintly visible to the naked eye, keeping those scattered cultivators outside. All major sects tacitly agreed to intercept the scattered cultivators first before competing on their own merits.
The Xingluo Sect, with its huge golden chariot, shattered mountains one after another, and its runic array shimmered brightly, with a majestic momentum.
"Haha! This Source Fire, my Xingluo Sect will accept it!"
"I'm afraid you don't have that ability!" The Wuji Gate stood on the Sun-Moon Disk, emitting dazzling light, with Dao rhymes rising.
Rumble!
Just the momentum of their pursuit had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, leaving the scattered cultivators behind them stunned.
No matter how strong a person was, if they weren't the destined 'protagonist', they couldn't possibly compete with those major sect forces.
After all, they had accumulated for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years. Why should they lose to your mere thousands of years of effort?
However, just as they were about to give up the competition, a brilliant barrier suddenly rose from the valley edge! This barrier kept everyone outside!
"Please leave, fellow Daoists!"
